Can Anyone Recommend A Great Doctor In The NYC/Long Island Area? My Dermatologist Haven’t Been Great; Should I See An Immunologist?
A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭

I was recently diagnosed last year but realize I have had flare ups for a few years. We just always thought they were ingrown hairs in my groin/pantyline. Currently in the midst of one and I’m miserable. I’m lucky b/c mine aren’t that bad, but I’m terrified of what they could become.

Breakout Or Whatever On Face? Just Curious

Looking for affordable but proven over the counter treatments others have used. I know everyone is different but has worked for you? 💖 Also bandage/dressing for the area? Cheek area specifically. Sorry to be bother and ask so many questions 😣😵‍💫

A myHSteam Member

Make your bandage. Get a paper towel (I use Costco brand) cotton ball in the middle, and I use paper tape (Amazon box of 12 forgot $) Vaseline so it won't stick to the skin. Good luck
